How to set and hide the login domain in Director

FLet's start by noting that there should be an option in the Internet Information Services (IIS) application settings to set and hide the domain. It really isn't that difficult, and I don't understand why Citrix didn't do this from the start.

Here is a brief description of how to permanently set the domain and hide it in the Citrix Director login.

Find the file LogOn.aspx in SystemDrive\inetpub\wwwroot\Director in a standard installation of Microsoft IIS and Citrix Director. This is a protected folder, so you must open the file as an administrator or first copy the file to, for example, your desktop

Open the file and look for id=’Domain-bar‘ and look for the following around line 449:

<div class='indicator-bar' id='Domain-bar'></div>
  <asp:TextBox ID="Domain" runat="server" CssClass="text-box" onfocus="showIndicator(this);" 
     onblur="hideIndicator(this);"&gt;</asp:TextBox> <br/>
  <asp:Panel runat="server" class="error eight" ID="Failure" Visible="False">
<div class='error-text'>

You need to add Text=“MyDomain“ where MyDomain is your domain name and is set as the default. To hide the field, add the following: type=“hidden“

The following shows the result

Save the file or copy it back and overwrite the existing file. This is all very helpful when users need to use Director to mirror other users.
